Some people were surprised that Justin Bieber didn't show at The BET Awards last night, even though he was nominated and his boy Usher was performing. But Justin had his own performance to get to - in Milwaukee!

His tour rolled into Wisconsin last night and with 22,000 people at the sold out show, he just wasn't going to cancel. He tweeted out his regrets to the show and his love to his fans, saying:

“Rolled into Milwaukee for the show today…gonna be huge…22,000 people sold out. I heard. Missing everybody out in LA for the BET Awards … Just wanted to say I would have been at the awards, but this show was booked before the nominees came out, and I don’t cancel shows … I would never cancel a show and let down the fans unless I had to … but I do wish I was there too, because I am honored to just be nominated… But I do wish I was there too, because I am honored to just be nominated but just goes to show that music is COLOR BLIND!! It is the universal language, and good music brings us all together … the way it should be.”

Well said, BB Biebs!

BTW - Justin lost to Nicki Minaj, so it was probably best that he spent his time with his fans!

the last thing the BET awards needs is beiber there.Re: TexasBadBoy – Eminem is white… hes been at the BET awards…and im pretty sure Christina performed back in 2001. sooo him being white doesnt matter.

Was this even written by him? He's grown up in a Canadian education system for the past ten years, you'd think he'd spell honor as honour and color as colour. Then again, he could just be stupid; or have an ignorant yankee tutor following him around. I still think this is fake.

Re: tasha – Oh please, BET isnt racist if thy were they wouldnt have nominated the lil kid. im kinda happy he didnt go, it would be akward seeing a white kid from canada walking around acting black in a room full of black people who dont know who he is lol.

first of all, it was the BETs, the BLACK ENTERTAINMENT AWARDS…. why was beibs nominated? Second, he is under CONTRACT TO PERFORM. With the stadium, fans and all the people due to be paid. IF HE WON, and that would be a big IF, they could have fitted him with a LIVE FEED and awarded him on air right at the concert and he could have performed LIVE. Everyone has to make EVERYTHING SO HARD at times. BUT, did the audience care he did not perform? Most of the audience seemed rocked by Chris Brown, despite what YOU, MARIO feel. So, NO ONE MISSED THE BIEBS.

What´s behind BET? I just don´t get it, maybe cuz I´m not from the US has prob a lot to do with it, why is it neccesary to have a seperate network for/by black people….it screams apartheid…..however you wanna look at it….It´s sad in so many ways…is it cuz black people dont get fair changes at other stations? can somebody tell me….

Re: zzbaby – honestly there is a need for BET because blacks are under represented on the other networks.. And for those comments about WET, please go jump off a bridge because you know there is a need for BET. White people are the majority on every network and if there wasn't a BET would half the rap artist that are acknowledge by BET be acknowledge by MTV… i don't think so. But i do think BET should acknowledge more white entertainers.. other than robin thicke, justin bieber, and eminem

A new Bill Cosby accuser's story of how he allegedly sexually assaulted her after drugging her drink is horrifying.

According to Patricia, -- who decided to keep her last name anonymous -- Bill invited her to a dinner party in 1978 after they met at a conference... a dinner party that ended up just being the two of them:
